Are there any fans out there who love U2 but totally reject the religious aspect of their work and identity?
I've always found their religious struggles much more interesting than their religion, and I think they do as well. They're an incredible example of a band that has Christian members, as opposed to a Christian band. They use their religion when necessary, and have done a really great job of not alienating anyone due to overbearing beliefs or practices.
I don't so much have a problem with U2's religious images and themes as much as their Christian fans who treat them like a Christian band. Please stop looking for God and the bible in all their lyrics. Regular people and artists are not defined by their religion. It is simply an aspect of their life and art. U2 is more than their beliefs. They are humans like the rest of us. Though Larry might be a robot.
I'm a non-believer, but it's all good.
I personally despise CCM

um, why should people not look to interpret lyrics as they deem fit? if people want to look for God in the lyrics, why not?
This is what I have enjoyed about Bono's lyrics. You can interpret as it relates to you.
Why? Does that bother you?
Vertigo can easily be interpreted as temptation/Jesus and the devil "All of this can be yours."
That's absurd. You really don't care about the art or artist when you make ridiculous interpretations like that. See my last post.
Are you serious? You're saying he doesn't care about U2 because of his interpretation of Vertigo?
Open up your mind to other people's opinions, Screw. Enough of this, "I'm right, they're wrong, and I can measure it objectively!" nonsense.
If you actually took in what I am saying in posts, you'd understand why I said that.

I really don´t know what to believe it freaks me out that up side down cross thing
